Netanyahu: Speech at Congress Is Existential, Not Political
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon and Michael Wilner - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday he is adamant about going to Washington and presenting Israel's position on Iran to Congress and the American people. "At a time when there are those who are dealing with protocol and politics, a bad deal is being put together in Munich that will endanger Israel's existence," he said. "From the establishment of the state until today there have been disagreements on substantive issues with the U.S., and the relations remained strong, and that will be the case this time as well," he said. The "true question" is whether Iran will have nuclear bombs to "implement its intention to destroy the State of Israel. That is something we will not allow." This is not a political issue either in Israel or the U.S., Netanyahu said. "This is an existential issue."
